Has anyone had any experience with Arcadia deep heat projectors?

I've read that they're phenomenal at helping provide your dragon with appropriate amounts of Infrared A & B but also provide heat as well.
I guess my question is this. How would one utilize this in their beardie Habitat?
Is it a nighttime only thing?
Could you use it in addition to a basking bulb to create extra heat?
Could I use several of them to provide a nice temperature gradient throughout the tank with dimming thermostats without disrupting his basking spot or UVB light?
I guess most importantly, are they safe?
Here in the very not too distant future I will be ordering my 120 gallon Zen enclosure and I want to be sure that I have appropriate heat and lighting for my beardie to be able to be comfortable in his new home.
I already have the 22" Reptisun T5 HO UVB 10.0 bulb in reflective 24" fixture. It will be put inside my new Zen Habitat.
I also have a 150 watt Flukers basking spotlight and a 150 watt black ceramic heat emitter. Both are in a dual fixture. I have all lights on timers as well.
I know this isn't going to be adequate for the newer larger tank which is why I've started exploring other heating options.
I am wanting to get Charlie the Exo Terra® Intense Basking Spot Light to replace his Flukers basking bulb.
I've been considering swapping his Reptisun UVB 10.0 T5 for an Arcadia UVB 14.0 T5 bulb once my current bulb "expires". Possibly upgrading to the 36" instead of the 24".
I also want to get rid of the dual light fixture and get several with dimmer switches for accurate temperature control and replacing my stick on thermometers with digital probe thermometers as well.
